I second the request for xml-stylesheet support. In a rich, open working 
environment XXE will certainly not be the only tool available for XML 
data/document handling.

I think it is useful at least for XXE stylesheet developers. You can 
specify a stable stylesheet for useful work in configuration files, and 
a development version of the stylesheed in a PI inside test documents. 
That's the reason why I asked (in another thread) to have both 
styleheets listed in the style menu.
